> Currently if you want to use a property value in a piece of javascript you have to take care of escaping special characters such as \r \n \t , single quotes etc yourself. Otherwise you might end up with unclosed string literals etc. The way we solved this in out application is to wrap  the output of a struts property within the body of another tag that does the escaping. eg:
> alert('<lib:javaScriptEscape><s:property value="myProperty"/></lib:javaScriptEscape>');
> This works well but is somewhat verbose. It would be very convenient if  s:property would have a javaScriptEscape attribute to acomplish the same task. eg :
> alert('<s:property value="myProperty" javaScriptEscape="true" />');
